Another Xmas throwback, hope I haven't left it too long. Only a casual 10% triple IPA today..😜 Honey coloured and hazy, though still semitransparent and visible carbonation. Fruity forest on the nose with hefty pine and bright pineapple. Lightly fizzy in the mouth and quite light, with a medium light body and a long finish including the taste of alcohol at the end. It's clean and well presented, well rounded though you cant escape the ABV, tasting it with each sip otherwise the finish would be super clean and satisfying. Pine is less pronounced than on the nose and the fruit is more of a general chutney, but a light one. Being a TIPA it is pretty saturated with hops but you struggle to focus on it. This has more in common with a light coloured whiskey than a juice bomb IPA. Finback, the collaborators, reside in New York and this certainly isn't a New England IPA, pine is the strongest flavour, just about fighting off the pineapple cubes. It is dank but not in a Strata/weed type way more of a sharp and resilient pine oil building on the tongue over time. It's pretty good, but not my favourite style, I don't mind a bit of pine, but only if it's afterthought and second to a big line up of juicy hops. This is more a traditional IPA albeit a very big one and I suppose with that in mind this is particularly light, I've had DIPAs that are heavier, excluding the obvious ABV increase in this case. I'll be going to bed after this so shouldn't be at risk of getting a muddy head. I wouldn't recommend having a full can of TIPA as part of a session!
